Provost’s Office

“…to prepare graduates who think critically, serve generously, lead purposefully, and live responsibly as stewards of the world they bequeath to future generations.”

The Provost’s Office coordinates academic programs at Alma College. Academic departments and programs are central to this effort. Information about them, including faculty, courses, and requirements for majors and minors, can be found through the links posted on the main academic page.

We hope that you will be able to find these pages helpful. If you can’t find information you need, please stop by our office on the first floor of the Swanson Academic Center: we’re eager to help.
